Scientific programme

This year’s theme of Value through innovation and effectiveness offers the opportunity for some exciting discussion; we have put together a varied programme of presentations catering for photographers, video producers and graphic designers alike. Although the focus is on developments in modern professional practice and technology, we include presentations which will discuss past innovations that have impacted on modern medical interventions. Please email Joanne Dunlop if you have any queries.

The conference kicks off with a Keynote Address and then goes straight into the Julie Dorrington New Voices Session (see below).

The Julie Dorrington New Voices Session

This year, the popular New Voices session has been renamed in memory of Julie Dorrington, who sadly passed away in December 2010. For many years Julie gave a huge amount of time to the Institute, notably with conference planning and as Membership Secretary. In this capacity, she was responsible for helping many people to become members of the Institute, so it is highly appropriate that we remember her as we hear from some of the brightest new voices in our profession.

At the end of the Julie Dorrington New Voices session the audience will be invited to vote for the speaker who in their opinion gave the best presentation. The winner will receive the Julie Dorrington Membership Award, comprising a certificate and a prize of a year's free membership.

The session is comprised of short presentations given by at least six of our newest members who’ve never spoken at the conference before. Students and new graduates from courses based in Cardiff, London, Staffordshire and Dundee are among the contributors, speaking on a diverse range of topics (see above)

These presentations have a reputation for being of excellent quality and are not to be missed.

IMI Awards Exhibition

The IMI Awards Exhibition will be on show throughout the conference. We’re aiming to put on a truly professional display that’s worthy of the UK’s best medical photography, ophthalmic imaging, video production, medical art and graphic design.

Congratulations to the 2011 Award winners. With 137 award-winning entries – 88 Bronze, 41 Silver and 8 Gold – this will be an inspirational exhibition, so make sure you find time to see it all.

We are indebted to Stylize Display Graphics for supplying contemporary display systems and graphics for the Conference and Exhibition, as well as to the Medical illustration Department of Birmingham University Hospitals for mounting the photographic entries.

IMI Annual Awards Banquet

The Ridings barn, where the IMI Awards Banquet will be held

The IMI Annual Awards Banquet on Friday night is a very special occasion in the Institute’s calendar. After welcome drinks at 6.30 p.m. we make our way into the Ridings, an elegantly converted barn. Following a sumptuous meal, we have the chance to celebrate some of the best work in the field of medical illustration, with our Annual Awards. These include Gold and Platinum Awards, the Wellcome Award, Student Award, John Corney Video Award, Graphics Award and Photography Award. And, for the first time this year, the Julie Dorrington New Voices Award (see above).

Also this year we see our Chairman, Andrew Johnson, stepping down and handing over to a new chairman.

Who will Andrew give the Norman K. Harrison Medal to this year?

Following the meal, we have a fantastic band lined up to get you dancing. Stak it up is a versatile five-piece band of professional musicians playing music from your favourite eras – so something to get everyone on the dance floor. The Ridings bar will be open all evening – but please make sure you get up in time for the first speaker on Saturday morning!

Stak it up's Suzanne Mellard is one of the hottest and most versatile vocalists in the UK

Many thanks to Medical Illustration UK (MIUK), and especially to Directors Mike Nelson and Chris Priest, whose generous sponsorship made it possible for us to book this great band.
